    Hiking

    In June 2022 the National Monument Missing Airmen was established here in the Bocht van Molkwerum to
    Commemorating all Allied airmen lost in the IJsselmeer. The monument is shaped like a wing tip sticking out of the water. This symbolizes those who were lost forever. A broken wing, somewhere it doesn't belong - the same way these aviators disappeared far from their loved ones, somewhere they didn't belong.

    A bit strange, from a distance it first appears to be a sailing boat that has sunk with the sails still out. How beautiful!
